Peace plan for Ukraine and European security issues to be discussed at leaders' summit

The meeting is being held in London and hosted by UK PM Sir Keir Starmer.

European leaders, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau meet in London today to consider efforts to end the war in Ukraine as well as wider European security issues. The meeting has taken on added significance after the extraordinary public row at the White House between the Ukrainian leader, and President Trump and vice-president Vance.

Also on the programme: More than 50,000 people are thought to have fled from the current fighting in eastern DRC into Burundi; and ahead of the 97th Academy Awards ceremony in Hollywood we consider whether acting award categories should still be separated by gender.

Joining presenter Paul Henley to discuss these and other stories of the day are Dom茅nica 脕vila-Luna, an Ecuadorean-born analyst and researcher at King's College London, and Travis Elborough, a British author and cultural commentator.
